Christi Mac

Christi Mac grew up in Dallas, Texas, where her father played jazz saxophone. She started on piano early and found her musical footing through church and artists like Jars of Clay and Amy Grant. Her debut album came out in 2005, featuring the song 'End Of The Line,' which connected with listeners for its direct emotional tone.

She has been open about dealing with anxiety and depression, and her music often reflects that personal terrain. While some of her views on social issues have drawn criticism, she has kept writing and performing with a band that includes Nathan Tanouye on guitar and Marc Russo on bass.

Her albums like 'Runaway' and 'Mother' continued in a similar vein, with piano and vocals at the center. The music doesn't try to resolve everything neatly, which might be why it sticks with people.
